Ontario's $1 weekly is cheap, but not so cheap as the commun- ity that permits a local newspaper to perish rather than add 50 cents to the present subscription price of once -a -week j nrnals in this pro- +ince,Toronto Telegram. The union jack which was pur- chased a couple of months ago, and placed on the Wingham town hall, looks as if it had brayed the breeze for years. At the price paid for it ($12) a person would imagine the town could have secured a good flag. Whatever may be said. of Sir Sam Hughes this much is true that it is largely due to his dynam- ic force that Canada has been en- abled to so splendidly come to the assistance of the Eoapire in this hour of need. — Wharton Echo (Liberal). Premier Hearst has raised him- self in the eyes of the people by the courageous stand he has taken on the temperance question. "I would ten thousand times rather." he said, "go down to political ob- livion and disappear from view as a public man than to fail in what I believe to be my duty at the pre- sent time." — Listowel Banner (Liberal). The Greater Things The thought of the Christian world at this hour is leading up to the great Easter triumph and vic- tory of the'Founder of its Faith. In a few days we will be rejoicing over the fact that He was not hold- en of death, but rose a conqueror over all powers and' forces of evil and destruction. Do we not speci- ally need the further thought to- day that not only was he victor two thousand years ago, but. that He is still the Victorious One? While we are glad for what Christ did in that far off time, and has been doing throughout the centur- ies,. we musn't forget to rejoice over the still greater things that He is going to do. The best is yet ahead,and the world will eee in days to come a triumph of the Christian faith and spirit that will put all past triumphs into the back- ground. And so to -day while the clouds of this great world conflict and crisis are thick about us, and and it sometimes looks as if death and darkness would triumph, we can remember that He still goeth forth conquering and to conquer, -.Christian Guardian. Kitchener's Threat. An amusing story which does not seem to have got into print yet is being told abot Lord Kitchener. It concerns a famous poster, isstted some time ago, with an appeal in his handwriting for more men and yet more men, He had, of course, to write the original appeal from which the facsimile on the poster was made, and he did so, and it went to the De- partment Concerned with such things. His writing was found to be too meati for poster -size reproduction, so the sheet was sent back to him with a cautious explanation in this.. sense, and the request would he re- write it. He did, but again it was too small, and he wrote it a third time, and with that third draft sent that grimly humorous message ; "Don't ask me to write this again, for rather than do it We'll have con- flcription1" , , An 'Original Epitaph. An original epitaph was written for his own tombstone by Mt•. Thos. Heston 11111, fedenham House, And- over, Hants, who died recently, leen- ing £78,557. The epitaph runts: "Loved, worked, arrayed, played, with the warni urgency of young Mood, thanking God for all His gifts, Pass - (space left for date).

BI3 �1NF 4 1 An Objective Point The question has often beenasked, somewhat facetiously perhaps, "do you keen cow&, or do they keep you?" To many dairymen this bas started a train of thought resulting in vastly improved prospects.. To come right down to busines, why Do you keep cows? Surely it is in or- der that they may contribute hand- somely towards income. If you are already satisfied on that point, well and good; but, one excellent result of cow testing is the solid fact that it helps men to increase their income conetderably; that is one main object- ive point reached. The same story is repeated in all provinces of the Domin- ion, it runs something like this: from a roan at Barnston, Qee,, "My cows average almost two thousand pounds of milk more than two years ago," or again from a man at Petersburg, Ont„ "I have increased fourteen hundred pounds of milk per cow, and hope to go up another fifteen hundred," or this, from a man at llagereville, Ont,, "My herd is pretty near double in three years by weeding out," and, once more, from St. Boniface, Que„ "My seven cows brought in $145 nacre tbis year, my records showed it paid to care for them better." The dairy division, Ottawa, will gladly send -milk record forms if you write for them. Be sure that each cow pays, miuttattma EASTER EXCURSIONS SINGLE FARE Good going April 21st and re turning same day FARE and ONE-THIRD Good going April" 20, 21, 22, 23 Return Limit April 25th Return tickets will be issued be- tween all stations in Canada east of Port Arthur and to Detroit and Port Huron, Mich„ Buffalo, Black Rock, Niagara Falls and Suspension Bridge, N, Y.

Piovtbion had been made that these stores could be closed or others opened, according to the wish of the people, at the Municipal elec. tions in November, The entire Pro' vince bad been divided into liquor dietricts, Voting took place in seven ,districts, in three of which liquor stores had already been established, and' in four other districts an attempt was made to open new stores, In every district the result was decisive- ly In favor of total abstinence. In the three districts where Government stores bad been in operation, they were all wiped out by a vote of about two and a half to one. In the four districts where an effort was being made to open stores all the attempts failed by a vote of about the same re- lative proportions. Particular interest had been attach- ed to one .district, as the population was largely'foreign, The presence .of large colonies of Galicians, French, Germans and Hungarians, w a s thought to be a strong force to over- come. These people had always been accustomed to use liquor whenever they had the opportunity. Every wedding and every holiday was cele- brated with plenty of liquor, Few were abstainers and none too poor to procure it. There was almost no or. ganizations, so that what temperance work was done, was in most eases by individuals, but the result was very encouraging. A foreigner told me that he had at ways been a drinker and that if a vote had been taken when the bars were first closed there would have been many liquor stores open. However he thought the people had found out in four months that they got along very well without it and had more money than they ever Lad before. He easel that few wanted the stores open now. A young Frenchman who has a family and is a good worker said to me "The bar got me a good many times, I spent a lot of money and lost a lot of time. I am glad the bar is gone and we don't want the thing back again." In the rural muni- cipality of Fish Creek where the pop- ulation is almost entirely Galician, it was thought the people would vote strongly for a liquor store, but it went dry by more than two to one. Wakaw village, where we have a very mixed population Went dry by 47 to 10. What has been done in such a district, can surely be done in any place in Canada. Coming to Manitoba, we find the foreigners quite as hostile to the liquor traffic. In Winnipeg alone there were five Ruthenian, three Scandina- van, and three Icelandic papers that would not even print a liquor adver- tisement. Perhaps that will take some of the conceit out of us, and let us see that the foreigner has more brains than we gave him credit for. Let us wake up and press forward. H. Arnott, M. B., M. 0. P. S. • The Temperance Move When the Ontario Prohibition Bill was given a second reading in the Legislature recently there was not a dissenting voice, and while the bulk of the debate was carried on by Premier Hearst, Mr Rowell and lion. W. J. Hanna, a few members who have sup ported temperance legislation in re- cent years took occasion to commend the government on its record, Mr. A. H. Musgrove (North Huron) said that a great deal of Credit was due to the temperance people of Ontario for the results that bad been achieved. Looking back over the hietory of tem- perance agitation in Ontario any one could eee the growth of that move- ment, and yet it remained to a Con- servative government to come forwai d with proposals that now won for it province -wide applause, Mr. Musgrove referred to the pledge given by the late Sir Oliver Mowat, but nothing was done, The matter was taken up by the Hardy and Ross Governments with tte referendum that was voted on at tnat time. The referendum was carried by a two-thirds majority, but even then no action was taken. When the Conservative government came into power it immediately set to work to carry out its pledges. What legis; cation had been enacted in successive sessions was well known, but there never was a time when the Govern- tnent had been out of sympathy or out of touch with the temperance move ment, This was seen in the gradual reduction of licensee and finally by the abolition of the old License Board and the creation of a Provincial Commis - got. He did not helieve in compenea- tion, although something had been said along that line, To adopt corny pensation the government would have to go back twentyflve years. As foe the permanency of prohibi- ion, Mr. Musgrove pointed to his own county. Ile had spoken to .many men who had voted against temperance in Iiuron county, but who would not vote now to bring the licence back. When this measure Is passed and has been in operation for two or three years, if it is well enforced -and we may be euro it will be well enforcel- the people will be eatisfied with the working of this act. It will be a great help to the Province, Prohibition was social legislation of an advanced order, and he believed after It was well tried that not 25 pot cont, of the people would be willing to return to the old order of thiugs, WINGHAYI ADVANCE Culross council Town Bail, Teeiwater.
